Mrs. Eunice L. Scott

On Sunday, November 7, 2021, God opened His loving arms and welcomed Eunice L. Scott to her heavenly home. It was a blessed event, the day Eunice Lott was born to the late Mr. Enos Lott and Mrs. Palmeta Whitfield Lott, on November 20, 1939 in Puckett, Mississippi. She was the eldest of five children: Mary, Eddie, Lonnie, and Johnnie (who preceded her in death). She accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior and was baptized at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Johns, Mississippi. She was educated at Sylvarena School and Prentiss Institute. Eunice was united in Holy Matrimony to the love of her life the late Mr. Lewis "Buck" Scott. To this union, three children were born: Kirkpatrick (who preceded his parents in death), Yolanda, Shretta, and a bonus son, James Ollie completed the family. Eunice and Lewis united with the Church of the Living God Pillar Ground and Truth in Los Angeles, California and were faithful and dedicated members. During those early years, she raised her family, attended Los Angeles Business College, completed coursework, and worked various jobs. After a few decades of city living, the family decided to return to Brandon, Mississippi. Eunice enjoyed the rural life. She loved canning, flower and vegetable gardening, working in the yard, making homemade ice cream, grilling/smoking meats, baking delicious cakes and pies, raising her family, and making memories with her loved ones. Bammie's 7-Up cakes and sweet potato pies were delectable. Volunteering was enjoyed by Eunice alongside the love of her life. They volunteered at Lakeland Nursing and Rehab for 20+ years and Eunice was affectionately referred to as "Mr. Banana Man's Wife". Loving, supporting, and encouraging her children, grands, great-grands, and other young people particularly children and young people were her hallmark. Demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ and loving her neighbor as herself was very important to Eunice. Her compassion was duly noted and she was featured in the Clarion Ledger and on a local news station for her community-mindedness. For many years, Eunice worked at Norman Shirtmakers, and established lifelong friendships; however, the majority of her jobs were service related and included working as an assistant teacher with Los Angeles Unified School District, Crossgates United Methodist Church child care worker, serving on the Rankin County Human Resource Board, and serving the community as a business owner. She and Lewis owned and operated Quick Ironing Service, LLC in Brandon and Ridgeland and loved serving the community in this capacity. Most of all, Mother Eunice loved the Lord and served Him in many capacities over her lifetime. Mostly, she loved singing praises unto the Lord with her beautiful soprano voice. In her later years, one of her favorites was "Let It Be Real". She also loved: "His Eyes Are On The Sparrow", "Steal Away", and "He Looked Beyond My Faults And My Needs" to name a few. She was an active and avid prayer warrior and intercessor, deaconess, and church mother. Many scriptures were written on her heart. John 3:16, Psalms 23 and Psalms 100 were some of her favorites. Bammie was oh so funny! Her laugh, sweet spirit, gentle forehead kisses, strong hugs and handholding, along with her beautiful smile will remain in our hearts and minds eternally. Our mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, niece, neighbor, church member & friend will be treasured eternally and always deeply loved.
